I was excited to receive this book and it didn't disappoint. What a fabulous idea and such a delightful way to end the day. Down the Sleepy River is a relaxing bedtime story designed for children incorporating mindfulness practices. This is great for both children and adults alike and a lovely way to integrate easy mindful and relaxing practices into everyday family life.
The initial look of the book has a very gentle feel yet colourful and engaging. The illustrations are beautiful and evoke a settling feeling.
I really liked the notes at the beginning of the book which provides simple information on mindfulness and how to use the book with additional suggestions to incorporate when reading.
I started reading this with my grandson when he stays and he really enjoyed reading and breathing with me and we have now got his Aunty doing it with us too!
